Grk & the government

This autumn, as part of a scheme called Booked Up, every British eleven year-old will be able to pick a free book from a list of twelve - one of which is A Dog Called Grk.

G
rk and the Hot Dog Trail is on a list of books recommended by the education secretary, Alan Johnson, and librarians from the School Library Association. Every state secondary school in England will be able to choose 20 of the titles in order to set up a dedicated "boys' bookshelf" in the library. You can read the full list here.
